That suggest you are already jailbroken

Can confirm, I'm running into the exact same situation. Steps 11-12 don't really work because the device reboots mid-copy, and it appears to be back in normal mode, in English.

Hm, not sure if it's in Managed Mode since I have all settings clickable (not greyed out), and applying the hotfix fails with the message "Update failed".

I also get the same problem (selected chinese after restart, saw the log with languagebreak, but then got english after that then failed in to install update of hotfix) on a PW 8 with 6.16.2.11

I'm having the same issue as Ym9i and deepanharsha. I have a Kindle Oasis 8th gen (Wifi + 3G) on 5.16.2.1.1. Device just restarts in English. Continuing on with the instructions copying the hotfix bin and trying to update the kindle ends up in "Update failed".

Edit: Managed to finally jailbreak my kindle! Deviated a bit from the guide, you can check my post on MobileRead for more details: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4416668
